[Paddlewise] Barometers (for long range weather prediction)

Has anyone had personal experience using a barometer (while on extended
paddling trips) to get a clue as to approaching fronts, changes in weather,
etc? Would appreciate recommendations as to types and models, and
experiences you have had using one.

Just returned from a 5 week paddle-trip on the Canadian tundra, and often
found a walm calm day followed by an fast moving storm in the morning. This
made planning a bit tough...we just paddled when fair, hiked when not. I'm
not interested in pursuing the weather-radio route, though I imagine it to
be at least as reliable as the Canadian Government weather forecasts
(another topic!!)

Thanks!
